Easter HuntforTweensandTeens (Updated)

A couple of puzzle pieces in each egg and sometimes a chocolate egg or two!

With Easter coming, the pressure is on to prepare an Easter Egg hunt and with them being older, they needed a challenge and we have a dog so hiding chocolate eggs isn’t great. My kids don’t want to give up being kids so I am all for that for as long as I can get it! This was a big hit last year and I decided that I would do it again. I bought two 100 piece puzzles, will write on the back of it using markers with the clue to where the baskets were hidden. Being teenagers, I have written two messages on each of the puzzles. I will then put the puzzle pieces in plastic eggs and when they finished the puzzle they would be able to discover where their baskets were hidden.

You will need: permanent marker, plastic eggs, two puzzles exactly the same and a few jelly beans, mini chocolate eggs and something you are giving them hidden in a safe location.

Directions:

1) Buy 2 puzzles (got mine at Walmart this year and chose two 100 piece puzzles to add the to the challenge I bought two different puzzles)

A couple of puzzle pieces in each egg and sometimes a chocolate egg or two!

With Easter coming, the pressure is on me to prepare an Easter Egg hunt solo and with them being older, they needed a challenge. My kids don’t want to give up being kids so I am all for that for as long as I can get it! I have always done the prep work and my husband was always the one hiding the eggs in ridiculous places and the kids loved it. The other challenge is that we have a dog so we can’t put chocolate within his reach either. Last year I decided that I would buy a cheap puzzle, write on the front of it, with permanent marker, the clue to where the baskets were hidden. I put the puzzle pieces in plastic eggs and when they finished the puzzle they would be able to discover where their baskets were hidden. They loved it but it was a little too easy. This year I believe I have found the key to a Sunday morning that will keep them busy for at least an hour and challenge them to work together – this will also give you time to caffeinate!
